In the event of a pricing error on our website, Driftward reserves the right to cancel any orders resulting from such pricing errors.

Limitations on Products and Services

Certain products or services may be available exclusively online through the Site. These products or services may have limited quantities.

As permitted by our Privacy Policy, we will also have the right to save your credit or debit card information and use it for all future charges, which will automatically be charged to your saved information unless you notify Driftward of different payment information. We are not responsible for any fees or charges your bank or credit/debit card issuer may apply. If your credit/debit card issuer or bank reverses or refuses a charge to your credit/debit card or bank account, we may bill you directly and seek payment by another method such as a mailed statement. We may also cease providing or refuse to provide our products and services to you if we are unable to collect fees that are due.

23. Copyright Infringement Claims.

If you believe in good faith that materials available on the Site or in connection with the Services infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send Driftward a written notice by mail, email or fax, requesting that Driftward remove the material or block access to it. If you believe in good faith that someone has wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against you, the DMCA permits you to send Driftward a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. See http://www.copyright.gov/ for details. Notices and counter-notices should be sent to Driftward’s DMCA Agent: by mail to 200 N. Pacific Coast Hwy, Suite 110, El Segundo, California, 90245; or by email to info@driftward.com
